3 Simple DIY Homemade Masks to Remove Sun Tan – Summer Series

Summers have just begun for us here in Seattle but its soaring hot already. Many of us are already sporting a tan thanks to the time spent under the sun vacationing or simply outdoors during the peak sun hours.

Everyone seems to be complaining about the rough and tanned skin among my friends. Just had a friend “G”(keeping the name private) return back from an amazing vacation by the beach and complain that her skin is become really rough and unhappy due to all the time she spent having fun under the sun.

She needed a recommendation of an esthetician so she could get a nice facial done. I could not offer a recommendation as I have not used one in many years. However, I have few at home DIY recipes that can help greatly and I love using them from time to time.

Though nothing meets a nice facial massage, masks are great for skin too.

Dear ”G” – Hope you give them a try in between your facials!

Natural citrus fruits and vegetables like oranges, lemon, and tomatoes work wonders in reducing the tanning effects without any side effects.

My mom was a great believer in using natural resources from her kitchen and insisted we use the same growing up! She always whipped out amazing masks from her kitchen in a heartbeat. Thanks mom!
